The Rotoglide ™ total replacement of the first metatarso-phalangeal joint. A prospective series with 7–15 years clinico-radiological follow-up with survival analysis
Primary osteoarthritis of the first metatarso-phalangeal joint (MTP-1) is common and gives clinical symptoms already in the fourth and fifth decade of life. Definition of the clinical entity is a painful dorsal collision phenomenon, a dorsal bunion, pain from shoe wear, and severely diminished dorsiflexion in the MTP-1 joint. Lateralization of the loading pattern over the lateral side of the foot and off loading of the great toe is typical and often leads to metatarsalgia. Depending on the radiographic grade of osteoarthritis (1 –4) [1], the options for surgical treatment are cheilectomy or osteotomy (grades 1–2) and f...

Biomechanical comparison of fixation stability using a Lisfranc plate versus transarticular screws
Lisfranc injuries have been reported at a rate of approximately 1 per 55,000 people per year [1]. Injury to the Lisfranc joint can range from low energy falls to high energy crushes such as automobile accidents [1 –4]. Depending on the type of impact, the injury may result in anything from small bone avulsion fractures to complete ligament ruptures and midfoot dislocations [5]. If misdiagnosed or left untreated, Lisfranc injuries may lead to a progressive flatfoot deformity or midfoot instability, along wit h symptomatic osteoarthritis in the future [5].

To compare the efficacy between fixation with tightrope and screw in the treatment of syndesmotic injuries: A meta-analysis
Syndesmosis is one of the most important structures that stabilizes the ankle syndesmotic injury coexists in up to 11 –13% of ankle fractures [1–3] and is caused by external rotation. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Can we use biomarkers of coagulation to predict which patients with foot and ankle injury will develop deep vein thrombosis?
Patients with foot and ankle trauma treated with leg casts are at risk of venous thrombosis (VTE). Tissue injury results in activation of the coagulation cascade through initiation of the extrinsic coagulation pathway. The primary cellular activator of this process is tissue factor (also known as TF, Thromboplastin, Coagulation factor III), which is released by tissues in response to injury [1]. Tissue factor acts as the co-factor for factor VII. The combination of these results in activated VIIa, which activates factors X and IX [2]. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Anatomy of the tibial incisura as a risk factor for syndesmotic injury
The tibiofibular syndesmosis serves as a dynamic link between the distal tibia and fibula thus contributing to the integrity of the ankle mortise. The distal fibula is engaged into the tibial incisura. This connection is reinforced by a complex system of ligaments [1]. Syndesmosis injuries continue to receive wide attention in recent years as anatomic reduction of the distal fibula into the tibial incisura is an important prognostic factor in ankle fractures with relatively high rates of malreduction reported [2].

Resection or preservation of the metatarsal heads in rheumatoid forefoot surgery? A randomised clinical trial
Despite impressive results of the pharmacological management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) progressive forefoot joint destruction still occurs in a subgroup of patients [1 –8]. The standard operative procedure, advocated for the treatment of disabling forefoot pain in patients with rheumatoid forefoot deformity, remains to be resection arthroplasty with removal of the lesser metatarsal heads (MTH). Reports of MTH resecting techniques show a short-term success rate o f 70–90%, and this rate is particularly explained by pain relief [9–11]. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Non-contact ulcer area calculation system for neuropathic foot ulcer
A large number of new cases of leprosy are detected across the globe every, of which India alone contributed to about 62% [1]; of which many are diagnosed with grade II impairments. One of the key goals of the global leprosy strategy for 2016 –2020 is to bring down the grade “2” WHO disability in newly diagnosed leprosy affected patients [2]. WHO Grade “2” disability in leprosy occurs primarily due to the neglect of the early impairments. The neglect of anaesthesia in the palm and sole which are the primary impairments in lepro sy, leads to secondary impairments like the palmar and plantar ulcers in the palm and ...
